APL Materials is an open access journal that features original research on significant topical issues within all areas of materials science.
This special topic will explore the frontiers of applying machine learning to discovering and understanding materials where disorder and thermal fluctuations are important, across both the “hard” and “soft” matter…
In 1920, the ferroelectric effect was discovered by J. Valasek in potassium sodium tartrate tetrahydrate – known as “Rochelle salt.” Ferroelectric materials possess a spontaneous electrical polarization which can be…
Voltage-control of magnetism has been considered and proven to be an efficient actuation protocol to boost energy efficiency in a widespread range of devices. This Special Topic will show the…
2D materials have been revolutionizing the science and technology of modern society in an unprecedented way. Their materials chemistry is of vital importance since it covers original scientific aspects concerning…
Mixed-dimensional heterostructures formed by stacking materials of different dimensionality offer diverse multi-functionality that cannot be otherwise obtained by pure 0D, 1D, 2D, or 3D materials. The discontinuous changes in the…
Spin-charge interconversion, which enables the generation, manipulation and detection of spin currents in materials with strong spin-orbit interaction, is crucial for spintronics. As new materials and interfaces with strong spin-orbit…
Rapidly increasing capabilities for non-invasive monitoring of physical and chemical parameters related to the state of the human body and emerging means for continuously providing various forms of intervention have…
Over the past three decades, phononic crystals have attracted scientific interest by demonstrating a variety of unique manipulations of sound and elastic wave propagation, through control of wave dispersion by…
